We plan to stay on the Brazil side of the Iguassu Falls for one night and the Argentinian side for the 2nd night, does anybody have any recommendation on hotel that's safe and not too expensive $100 or less per night. Safety is our priority.

1) The least expensive hotels on the Brazilisn aide are in downtown Foz do Iguaçu, the Brazilian city. In addition to economy, they will also place you close to restaurants and shopping.

The down side is that the city is 15 miles from the actual falls.

2) About a dozen hotels are strung along the highway between the city and the Brazilian national park. They're a bit pricier than in the city, but quieter. For instance, we overnighted at the Hotel Florença, which we found on a par with a Comfort Inn at a cost under US$100/night. Some of the places along the highway looked a lot swanker, and doubtless are priced accordingly. You need wheels to get to both the city and the falls from these places. There are buses and taxis. If you buy a ticket through your hotel on the Macuco boat ride, a complimentary shuttle is thrown in.

3) At the falls itself is the Hotel Cataratas, a super-swank place, and priced way above your $100 threshold. The Cataratas is walking distance to the falls, but it's the only one.

Would you please mind sharing where you ended up staying? My friend and I are also traveling from North Carolina in Sept. and we are 2 female travelers with similar itinerary. Hope your trip is super fun!
